Thomas Burgess reacts to brother Sam’s sudden retirement
The best of Burgess


I remember the first trip with @SamBurgess8 to take him and introduce him to Russel Crowe in England. Probably the highlight of my Rugby League career right there. @SSFCRABBITOHS

It was a great honour for me to share the field with you, all the best in the future mate. https://t.co/exFcbLGhOu
Sad day for the game when @SamBurgess8 has to retire early.

The best player I ever played alongside.
A absolute champion on and off the field.
A pleasure to play with you and to share some great times away from the game.
One of the true greats of the modern era.

Couldn’t ask for better person to go into battle with was a honour to share the field with you back in England under 18s then at the top. Enjoy your retirement pal 👊🏼 @SamBurgess8 pic.twitter.com/AbGybC5mhk
